The artificially sweetened beverage is a popular drink but health experts have warned about the health risks of drinking too much of it. The effects of drinking a can of Diet Coke can apparently be seen in just one hour, with an impact seen 10, 20, 40, and 60 minutes after finishing that last sip. According to Naik: "Like regular Coke, this can trigger insulin, which sends your body into fat storage mode." He continued: "Unlike the small amount of satisfaction you get from regular Coke your body may still crave sweets. "A can of diet coke provides no nourishment and would replace a more nutritious drink you could have drunk while potentially depleting your body of essential minerals."
